| Now we must praise heaven-kingdom's Guardian, | |
| the Measurer's Might and his mind-plans, | |
| the work of the Glory-Father, when he of wonders of every one, | |
| eternal Lord, the beginning established. | |
| He first created for men's sons | 5 |
| heaven as a roof, holy Creator; | |
| then middle-earth mankind's Guardian, | |
| eternal Lord, afterwards made-- | |
| for men earth, Master almighty. |
